Gold Cup Showdown: Mexico’s Path Clears Amidst U.S. and Canada Star Power Drought—Who Will Rise?
Raul Jimenez scored a brace to fire them past Panama in the Nations League final three months ago, and he joins AC Milan’s Santiago Gimenez and West Ham’s Edson Alvarez in one of the tournament’s more experienced squads.
Jimenez has enjoyed a renaissance with Fulham, netting 12 Premier League goals in 2024-25 after a return of seven in 2023-24. He only scored 10 in total across his final three seasons with Wolves (2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-33), having suffered a skull fracture in 2020.
At the other end, Mexico have recalled iconic goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who has won 151 caps and boasts more Gold Cup appearances than any other player (25). Ochoa also holds the record for most titles won at the tournament, lifting the trophy five times in six participations.
